MROUND - Rounding to the nearest 5

[Suzie_Suze_Sue]

Good afternoon,

Having an issue with MROUND.

I have a table with college courses, and would like to look at the FTE for each institution and course, how ever it doesn't seem to like "the value for FTE cannot be determined. Either the column doesn't exist, or there is not current row for this column"

So table would look something like this

Year	Institution	Qual	FTE	Gender
2019/20	1	Dip	1	1
2020/21	3	Cert	0.5	2
2019/20	1	First	1	2
2020/21	3	Cert	1	1
2019/20	1	First	1	1

The measure was FTE Rounded = MROUND([FTE]),5)

So the output would look like

Year            FTE       FTE Rounded

2019/20       3           5

2020/21       1.5        0 (as less than 2.5, rounds down)

Any help greatly recieved.

hi @Suzie_Suze_Sue 

not sure if i fully get your, please create a calculated table with this:

SumTable = 
VAR _table = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    VALUES( TableName[Year] ),
    "FTE",
    CALCULATE(SUM(TableName[FTE]))
)
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS(
     _table,
    "FTE Rounded",
    MROUND([FTE], 5)
)

i tried and it worked like this:

Thanks this works in a table, but doesn't work when adding in a slicer.

Say for example I needed a matrix in Gender by year with a larger dataset, and then want to filer by qualification

Filter = Dip

                16/17             17/18         18/19        19/20          20/21

Male         222 (220)       256(255)    212(210)    248(250)    227(225)

Female      229 (230)       246(245)    232(230)    248(250)    207(205)

Would I need to add multiple columns in? In brackets is the rounded numbers, don't need to to displayed this way, but this is what should be pulling through rather than the whole number.

Thank you very much

hi @Suzie_Suze_Sue1 

you would need a measure like this:

measure = 
VAR _sum = SUM(TableName[FTE])
RETURN
MROUND(_sum, 5)

with the sample data you provided in the original post and changing 5 to 2, it worked like this:

p.s. please consider @someone, if you seek further suggestions.

Perfect!! Thank you

@Suzie_Suze_Sue , this you need to create a new column

FTE Rounded = MROUND([FTE]),5)

The measure will be like

FTE Rounded =Sumx(Table,  MROUND([FTE]),5) )

[Suzie_Suze_Sue1]

Thanks

I have tried this and get the error

The syntaxt for ') is incorrect. 9DAX(Sumx(Table, MROUND([FTE]),5) ))).

Try this:

FTE Rounded =Sumx(Table,  MROUND([FTE],5) )
